Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Ellen Hewitt. I'm a reporter for Bloomberg Technology.
Speaker 1: You're hearing from you now because we're making some changes.
Speaker 1: Last year, we aired our final episode of Decrypted, and
Speaker 1: since then, our podcast team at Bloomberg Technology has been
Speaker 1: hard at work on something new. It's a serialized show
Speaker 1: called Foundering. Each season, our reporters will bring you inside
Speaker 1: one big story, focusing on the high stakes dramas of
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley. This season, we're telling the story of Adam
Speaker 1: Newman and his controversial company We Work. I've been reporting
Speaker 1: on we Work for four years now, and when I
Speaker 1: first started, I thought it was just like any other startup.
Speaker 1: But I realized really early on that there was more
Speaker 1: to this story. That We Worked was a weird company
Speaker 1: that did weird stuff, and it started raising a lot
Speaker 1: of money, getting more attention, and then by the time
Speaker 1: the whole world was watching, it all fell apart. I
Speaker 1: want to give you a sense of what We Work
Speaker 1: was really like, how it all unfull did. There were
Speaker 1: so many parts of my reporting that I couldn't quite
Speaker 1: fit into print stories that I'm really excited to dig
Speaker 1: into here. We'll spend a whole season following We Works
Speaker 1: wild ride from hot startup to failed I p O
Speaker 1: and beyond. We're telling you about the new show because
Speaker 1: we think you'll like it. Just like Decrypted, Foundering will
Speaker 1: use Bloomberg's expert reporting to illuminate the biggest topics and technology,
Speaker 1: but each season we'll go deeper. We're really proud of
Speaker 1: the new show, and we hope you'll give it a listen.
Speaker 1: Foundering will launch later this month. Thanks for listening.
